Leicester City's Kelechi Iheanacho sidelined for weeks
Posted : 28 April 2023
Nigerian forward Kelechi Iheanacho, a vital member of the Super Eagles, is facing a significant absence from the pitch as he recovers from an injury sustained during Leicester City's clash against Leeds United.
The 26-year-old displayed visible signs of discomfort as he hobbled through the game, despite his commendable contributions.
Iheanacho's efforts included setting up James Maddison and delivering a delightful pass to Jamie Vardy, resulting in a successful goal against Illan Meslier.
Unfortunately, a subsequent scan revealed a torn muscle, casting doubt on his availability for the remainder of the season.
Despite the grim prognosis, Leicester City manager Dean Smith expressed the arduous challenge of restoring Iheanacho to full fitness before the season's climactic encounter against West Ham in May.
However, he stopped short of completely ruling out the Nigerian's participation for the rest of the campaign, maintaining a glimmer of hope during his press conference held on a Friday afternoon.
